A classic wool knit, Journey is timeless and practical — the perfect companion for long walks when the destination is unknown. Fringes add movement and flair. The scarf, worked from end to end, can be easily modified in both width and length by adjusting the number of stitches cast-on or the number of pattern repeats. It pairs beautifully with the Wander sweater, which features the same stitch pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYarn Recommendations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/products\/lore\"\u003eLore\u003c\/a\u003e by The Fibre Co (as per original design)\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/collections\/yarn\/products\/eco-cashmere-vintage-by-gepard\"\u003eEco Cashmere\u003c\/a\u003e by Gepard\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/collections\/yarn\/products\/sayama-by-pascuali\"\u003eSayama\u003c\/a\u003e by Pascuali\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.tribeyarns.com\/collections\/yarn\/products\/santi\"\u003eSanti\u003c\/a\u003e by Illimani\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003eLotta H.

This sweater is an ode to Tove and her art, inspired by a celebration she cherished.
